Produced between 1981 and 1984 the TT2 was built to contest the Formula 2 World championship and was the the first Ducati race bike to feature a trellis frame.

Powered by a 597cc V-Twin Pantah engine with desmodromic valves, it was light weight and powerful. Designed by Fabio Taglioni the frame was produced by legendary race frame makers Verlicchi, located not far from the Ducati factory in Bologna. 

Dominating the series it took four consecutive F2 World titles with British rider Tony Rutter and two Italian championships, the first ’81 with Massimo Broccoli and the second in ’82 with Walter Cussigh. 

The TT2 played a crucial role in Ducati's racing history and economic recovery during the early 1980s, setting the stage for future trellis-framed road models that were to follow. 

This TT2 was said to have been assembled by Lenci racing in Rome for a privateer racer using a genuine Verlicchi frame. It features a race spec engine with a dry clutch, 41mm Dellorto cards, adjustable front forks and Campagnolo wheels. 

Having been on display in a private collection for some years it would need recommissioning before returning to the track but it remains in good order and running condition.
